actually happened, not what they made up, otherwise this thread becomes even more of a farce.

- absolutely right, and the 'cleverer' the a/c gets the worse that situation becomes. B2 crash and latest AB at PGF I would propose as supporting that plus the early AB accidents. The situation is aggravated when pilot experience no longer has any 'feel' for the a/c and it is 'sanitised' (like autotrim in the 320), and we really do need to either ensure we have PERFECT FLAWLESS auto systems or we improve training.
